Tonight's Enterprise server migration has been postponed for the moment, so no downtime is anticipated.
We expect to have a new date for the migration firmed up by the end of this week, and we'll send an additional SWANcom as soon as it has been determined.
Thank you,

Subject: [SWANcom] SWAN Enterprise Issues: Update
SWAN Libraries,
This is just a quick heads up. In our efforts to resolve some recent Enterprise issues, SirsiDynix is recommending an upgrade to the underlying server running Enterprise. This will result in more server resources supporting our system, but it will require some planned downtime starting at 11:59PM on Tuesday, August 1 next week.
We will send out another SWANcom email on Monday, with a reminder on Tuesday. The length of downtime is estimated to be 4-6 hours.
Thank you for your patience-SirsiDynix software engineers and the SaaS team have been studying our issues and recommend this first step.
For background, please read the following two SWAN Support postings:

The South Holland Public Library is currently experiencing issues with their local network. Their patron/public network is completely down and the only working phone number in or out of the building is 708-527-3150. They hope to have the issues resolved by Wednesday.

It was brought to our attention that there are times when an item that is on your Clean Hold Shelf Report cannot be found on the hold shelf. To ensure that these items are accounted for and not showing a location of InTransit when they are missing, follow the attached procedure. Please note that you should only check an item out to this user MISSHLDSHLF if it was on your Clean Hold Shelf report, and you have looked for the item thoroughly and checked with the patron to ensure he/she doesn't not have it in their possession.
Thank you

The same overnight maintenance report has unfortunately terminated with errors again last night. We believed to have resolved the issue yesterday, which was relating to a particular item configuration that was unable to be processed. While the item was corrected, the report error has persisted.
We'll be reaching back out to the SirsiDynix database support team for additional investigation this morning and will send an update as soon as additional information is available.
In the meantime, you may encounter error messages, such as "Heading keys need to be indexed" on a handful of items modified or created within the last couple of days.

Please find attached 2 In Transit reports. The first report (Item Library) is the one you are used to seeing on a monthly basis, it lists your items that have been in transit for at least 30 days. The second report (Transiting Library) sorts the items by transiting library. Follow the directions outlined in the "Processing the In Transit Report" pdf for both reports.
Next Thursday, August 3, we will begin reporting on items in transit 10-30 days and will distribute those reports on a weekly basis for shelf checks. We are in the process of compiling a policy and process for cleaning up the items that have been in transit for an extended amount of time and will update you upon its completion.
Thank you for your hard work and continued cooperation with this project.

There has been an issue with generic users being selected for collection when we run the report for Unique. To correct this problem, please review your library's In-House cards, Training cards, etc. to be sure "NO_UNIQUE" is the "Library Defined" for all users who should be excluded from Collection Reports.
To update these records:
* Use the Display User wizard to retrieve the record and select Modify.
* Under the Demographics tab, in the Library Defined category, choose "NO_UNIQUE" from the dropdown.
* Click Save and close.

By Monday, July 17, all adult Tinley Park Public Library materials will have a Home Location of Unavailable in WorkFlows and Enterprise.

When we resolved the issue with auto renewals it inadvertently pulled in circulation statistics for generic users. We have now resolved this issue and updated all of the circulation statistics on the SWAN support site.
If you use BLUEcloud Analytics (BCA) circulation statistics reports that include generic users you do not have to do anything. If you do not use these reports you will have to rerun your reports for an accurate count.
Thank you again to the libraries who alerted us to the issue and thank you all for your patience during our transition to BCA Circulation Statistics!

The issue with auto renewal statistics has been resolved and the Monthly Renewals by Interface report on the SWAN support site has been updated. If you ran any of your own renewal statistics on BCA you will need to re-run them. You will also need to re-run any statistics that combine checkouts and renewals.
Now that the BCA statistics reports have been fully tested we have removed the statistics reports from WorkFlows. This includes any of the Monthly Checkouts by Item Type/Item Cat 2 reports you may have scheduled to run on a monthly basis. Please find attached the documentation for running your statistics reports on BCA.

Subject: [SWANcom] BLUEcloud Analytics Renewals Statistics Incorrect
It was discovered the renewal statistics reports we ran on BLUEcloud Analytics (BCA) do not include auto renewals. We are able to include them on our reports from WorkFlows and have opened a case with SirsiDynix to determine why they are not included in BCA. We were hoping to have a solution by now so we could re-run the reports on BCA but do not yet have an answer. Once we have an answer we will re-run all of the reports.
If you are using a report from BCA that combines checkouts with renewals those reports will also be incorrect as they are not counting the auto renewals.
Please find attached the June Monthly Renewals by Interface report from WorkFlows. If we do not have a solution by tomorrow we will re-run all of the June renewal statistics in WorkFlows for you.

Over the weekend, we’ll be making additional adjustments to refine the automated schedule, which may be met with mixed success. We’ll send additional SWANcoms to provide updates as the weekend progresses.

Subject: [SWANcom] *Update* Incomplete Search Results in Enterprise - BCA Issue Resolved
SWAN Member Library Staff:
The manual harvest scheduled last night unfortunately did not correct the issue we’ve been experiencing, so we’ve once again retained our last full import from Saturday.
We have a few more ideas that we’ll be working on throughout the day and this evening, and we hope to have better news for you tomorrow morning.
Fortunately, we are seeing successful BLUECloud Analytics extracts, so while access to BCA may be slow due to the higher volume of user traffic, the data you’re seeing should be correct and up-to-date.
Thank you for your continued patience as we work to resolve this issue.

*Update* Incomplete Search Results in Enterprise - Also Affects BCA
07/05/2017 - 10:19 - by Steven Schlewitt
SWAN Member Library Staff:
An update to our recent Enterprise search results issue…
This weekend, an overnight maintenance task that syncs (or harvests) our Symphony catalog data to the Enterprise catalog abruptly ended in error. We believe this error to be the result of conflicting Enterprise eRC tasks (digital record imports), which ultimately caused our full harvest to be terminated by another internal system task. This error caused only a fraction of the Symphony catalog to display in Enterprise on Saturday, which is when SWAN staff, working in conjunction with SirsiDynix support, issued a manual harvest task during the day to achieve a full catalog sync.
While Saturday’s manual harvest did succeed, the automated overnight harvest task has continued to operate sporadically, to the point that we decided to pause the task, and an associated system sync agent in order to maintain our last full, successful harvest data from Saturday. This means that any catalog changes (item additions, removals, or edits) that have occurred in Symphony since Saturday are not currently being reflected in the Enterprise catalog, and will not be reflected until our next successful harvest. Additionally, the pausing of the sync agent has also caused issues with BLUECloud Analytics, in that requested report data is not being returned.
This issue does not affect Enterprise item availability, patron account data, or access to the My Account functions. It also does not affect any functions of Symphony/WorkFlows. This is only related to specific titles and records as they appear in the Enterprise catalog and BCA report functions.
Moving forward, we’re working on a plan with SirsiDynix to restructure our harvest schedules to get the full catalog sync back on track for tomorrow morning, and we hope to resume functions to restore BCA later today.
We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience this has caused, and we will send additional updates via SWANcom as they become available.
Thank you,
